let's start again......

I like the Park PRS-5 because it is fully adjustable. I do not like the price tag though

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

I'm pretty convinced to get the Ultimate Pro. I've heard a lot of good things about it. I have to say I prefer the clamp system of the Parks, but it seems that overall, the Ultimate stand is better than the cheaper Parks (and about the same price), and cheaper than the better Parks.

Cool features:
- All the tubings are telescopic, so it's very transportable
- It can actually hold a heavy DH rig.
- It has adjustable height

As soon as I have enough money, I'll probably get one.

Hope this helps...

wow - thanks, helps a lot. that OTHER site that has those reviews only has 2 bad ones out of 35 (which I think is pretty good). and all the features seem comparable to the Park.

CHA CHING!

I didn't do any research. I bought it because the shop had it mis-priced at $89. It's been good to me though.

I believe we got it from Performance on sale a few months ago.

I've got the Ultimate Pro, and I love it. The clamp isn't quite as fast in and out as the parks with the lever, but it adjust MUCH faster to different tube sizes and shapes, and is much gentler on tubes. It's also super strong, folds down tiny to bring to races, and the "torque-amplifying" clamp thingy is pretty amazing. I'd definitely recommend it.

I got it at Speedgoat, who seemed to have the best prices or close to, especially since shipping is free, and they fired it out to me right quick, with the optional bag for free. Plus I like the people there.

can I use it on the seatpost? not a fan of clamping the top tube.

Yes, I clamp the seatpost.

I bought a Minoura after reading a recommendation of it in the last stands thread:

It's worked pretty well, although it struggles to keep heavy bikes upright.

Ultimate stands are the best. I hold mine at the seatpost as well.

ULTIMATE IT IS!

Check out this link from another site.. http://www.mtbr.com/reviews/Tools/product_23460.shtml

Awarded "Tool of the year" at Interbike by MTBR. Have you seen all those tools on that page? There are like 150 different tools..hope that tells you something!

Go check out Park tool PRS-5 reviews (point being there are only like 3 new reviews in a year based on the Park compared to the 20+ in less than a year for the Ultimate.)

Clamping on the seatpost is no problem - but the nice thing about the Ultimate clamp design is it has an 8-point contact and is a leverless design so it is almost impossible to crimp a tube unlike the blue stand. Also, I am the sales and customer service and can be easily reached if you ever need anything. Hope this helps!

BTW, I love your tip of the day
